"It's not a problem. But you can't expect me to get back to you just because you realized you are wrong.
"My Lord, Do you know what I have faced in the past two years? I wasn't given food or blood. I may have lost my position, but I am a person too. Have you ever visited me? Have ever attempted to make me assured? In these two years, have you ever treated me like your sister? Whenever I appeared in front of your sight by accident, you would walk away not without saying some 'good' words that pained my heart for days and months.
"I shut my heart and numb all the feelings that I had for my family. I turned into a kind of person, who has no feelings and is cold-hearted.
"Now you came here and are asking me to turn back into the person which I am two years ago. Do you think it's fair for me, My Lord?" Lenora asked.
Zaros never thought that his sister would have this much resentment. He saw the happiness in her eyes when he did something in the past two months.
Was it all his illusion?
Has she never wanted to come near him?
Zaros doesn't know what to say. He thought making it up for he by giving this empire to her would do her good and mend things between them. It doesn't look that way now. He was confused, torn, and frustrated with the things that were unfolding in front of his eyes.
He regrets the actions that he did for her in the past two years. But now, wasn't he regretting? Why was it hard for her to accept them?
"Lenora, I am regretting them now," he said.
"Yet you allowed me to suffer," she added looking into his eyes.
"And you are saying that you want me to gift this empire for me and will make everyone here my slaves, right?" Lenora asked looking into his eyes. He nodded.
"My Lord, even if you don't interfere, this thing will be mine. Do you know that?" she asked making him look at her with surprise.
"I am the wife of the king here. If I am here, without your tactics or with your tactics this would be mine. Because the king is my husband and I will be the Queen! Anybody I ask will be my servant! How could you forget this logic, My Lord?" Lenora asked as she stared at him.
"You always wanted this kingdom. I am just an excuse for you to acquire this kingdom. To acquire this kingdom, you are using your wife, right, My Lord?" Lenora whispered leaning closer to him.
"I have heard people saying you are the bravest person. Single-handedly killed many vampires and werewolves. But here… I see a coward and a destructive person," Lenora said.
A nerve ticked in Zaros's forehead. His eyes turned red at her words.
How dare she!?
How fucking dare she!?
How dare she call him a coward?
Clutching her neck in rage, he pinned her body to a tree as he lifted her from her seat at his vampire speed.
Lenora couldn't break through from his grip. After all, she wasn't comparable to him. He was a five-hundred-year-old Vampire. While she was only a hundred-year-old Vampire.
Lenora was trying her best to remove his hand. When she couldn't do anything, something snapped inside her body.
"ADIEA! [1]" she yelled and pushed him slightly. That impact made him fly away and hit the wall which was two meters away, making him loosen his grip on Lenora without his knowledge.
Lenora's whole body was oozing the dark aura as she looked at her scummy brother.
Was this his way of reconciling with his sister?
If it was, then he failed miserably. She doesn't want a brother like this.
Lenora wondered what made him turn out like this. Why was he behaving like a lunatic?
This was so unlikely of him. Frowning her brows in confusion and anger, she walked toward him.
"My Lord, you are nothing but being a dick here. You are using women to achieve your goal. A real man would never do that. And a King would never do that! Now, what are you? This proves that you are not a man or a king and not even a good brother. So, what are you?" Lenora asked bending down to his level.
Lenora was glad that she wore fewer layers of clothes. She never wanted to meet him like a Queen or a Princess, meeting him that way would only mean, she was accepting him as her brother. She doesn't want to do it. Not at least now. After this session, she doesn't even want to be in touch with him.
What's wrong with him?
Why does he act like possessed!?
Why does he act like he did some witchcraft on him?
He was fine at least bearable when they were in Vampira. But what's now?
He was acting like an animal.
"But I am doing this for you," he said through his gritted teeth as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He could feel his chest hurting. He has to thank himself for being a vampire. He could feel he started healing but it was taking time. Nothing can be done in seconds.
"Which I don't want. You don't even know what I want!" Lenora said looking at him.
"See, you are not even wearing the clothes of a princess let's not talk about the Queen. This is the reason I want to give you this kingdom. Why don't you understand this? You are my sister. You deserve everything in this world! As your brother, I will give everything to you! And nobody knows more than me about what you want," Zaros yelled.
"What about Adira? What about Maximus's sister?" Lenora asked as he got up from his position still wincing in the pain in his chest.
"What about her?" he asked annoyed.
